You can easily avoid the mistakes that I made. Many of us start businesses while we’re still in a place of feeling unworthy of abundance. We’re desperate to land clients, so we cast the net wide (too wide), and end up with misaligned clients. Initially, many business owners also underestimate the power of networking and community. If you’re just starting out, don’t wait to launch your first offer until you feel like it’s perfect, and don’t wait for the timing to be perfect either. Instead of just talking about doing the thing, actually go do it. In this episode, you will learn about: What I offered when I launched my first business, and why it was exhausting. The one thing that changed which set that business on the path of growth. What happens when you overstuff your offer (and why we feel we need to do it). Questions you can ask to identify the client you’re speaking to. Why you don’t need a perfect product when you’re launching your business. Why you should focus on transformation over strategy when launching your offer. Tips for pricing your offer (hint: it’s not for work done by the hour). Why you shouldn’t be afraid to go big, especially if your intuition tells you to.     Get 10% off your Sage Haus House Manager today!

Why is it so crucial for you to invest in your own visibility? Staying hidden can block your growth and keep you from reaching the level of success you want in your business. But when you lean into your own authentic visibility, you open the door to more clients, revenue, and opportunities. If you want to scale your business, you need to be seen—and not just in a way that gets likes but in a way that also converts. Showing up authentically doesn’t just empower others, it empowers your audience too. Today I’m sharing tips for increasing your visibility in a way that feels strategic, sustainable, and aligned with you. In this episode, you will learn about: Why you’re hiding in your business (and what you can do about it). How hiding feels safer, but actually costs you more. What it looks like to trust the process of being seen (and how I do it). The one thing you must know before you practice visibility. Who I’m on a mission to serve and how that supports my authentic visibility. How you should measure the success of putting yourself out there. Why focusing on “perfect content” doesn’t work when building visibility in a real way. How to go from feeling annoying to acknowledging your gift to serve.     Get 10% off your Sage Haus House Manager today!

What if I told you that being too nice isn’t helping you? Being a “good woman” or a “nice girl” can actually be to your detriment. At the same time, as women, we are conditioned by society to please others and keep the peace. The problem is that “nice girls” live for other people while their dreams go to the grave. If you relate to this, you’re not alone—and you’re not stuck. Learning to lean into discomfort and taking a leap into being direct could change everything. Getting over decades of programming isn’t easy, but your life and business will be better when you do. In this episode, you will learn about: The big mistake I made when playing nice with a company I shouldn’t have. The difference between being polite and being nice. Examples of when we hold back from being honest (but we shouldn’t). The ways our social programming shows up later in life and sabotages us. Why we feel scared to demand for what we really want as women. Why direct communication can be difficult but is also so important. How people exploit nice women, including real life examples that happened to me. What really great clients actually want you to deliver.     Get 10% off your Sage Haus House Manager today!
